Mr. Covington states that since the letter was written the State had received additional funds and that two more such signals will be erected plus the two scheduled for Kingsland Road, which will make four for the 1974 Budget. He states that they will construct one railroad crossing a year but if additional monies are received as they were this year, more will be constructed. Mr. Krepela states that he feels the north and south line of the Amtrak lines should be priority. Mr. Covington states that the use of the lines will be considered in determining the priority. Mr. Burnett states that he has received a letter formally accepting roads in the Black Heath Subdivision into the State System of Roads as follows: BLACK HEATH SUBDIVISION Black Heath Road - From its intersection with Deerhurst Drive southerly 0.04 mile to State maintenance. Medbury Drive - From its intersection with Deerhurst Drive south- erly 0.06 mile to its intersection with Heathmere Crescent. 0.04 mile 0.06 mile Deerhurst Drive - From its intersection with Medbury Drive northeasterly 0.07 mile to a cul-de-sac, and from its intersection with Medbury Drive southwesterly 0.22 mile to its intersection with Black Heath Road, thence southwesterly 0.03 mile to a dead end. 0.32 mile The Board acknowledges receipt of a resolution from the City of Petersburg supporting the western route of the Proposed Interstate 95. Mr. Burnett states that the County has approved $42,500 for the improvement of Burge Avenue and inquires from which funds the money should be taken. Mr. Myers inquires if he has spent any money from the Drainage Fund. Mr. Prosise states none other than that used for normal maintenance. On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that this money be paid from the funds as follows: $10,000 - 3¢ Road Fund, $16,250 - D~ainage Fund and $16,250 - General Fund. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela. Mr. Krepela states that he had asked Mr. Covington to give him an estimate on the cost of constructing a right-turn lane on Route 147 going south into Featherstone Drive, which estimate is $5,000. There is some discussion regard- ing the developer not having the road in proper shape to be accepted, into the State System. Mr. Krepela asks Mr. Prosise to contact the developer and ask him to fix the problems that are preventing the road from being taken into the State System and if he will do so, he will ask for monies to construct this right-turn lane. Mr. Apperson states that there is a drainage problem on Hopkins Road going north or west of Beulah Church in front of the Hudson property. He states there is a culvert under the road but after a rain the water sweeps across the Hudson property and does not travel under the road. Mr. Prosise states he has looked at this and feels the pipe should be enlarged or an additional pipe should be installed. Mr. Covington states he will investigate the matter. Mr. Covington states that the work on Omaha Street has been completed and that the estimate was only half the cost. He states he will need approximately $4,700 from the County for this improvement to clear the paper work. The original estimate was approximately $4,200 but due to circumstances beyond their control the total cost is approximately $9,000. On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Krepela, it is resolved that the County pay the Highway Department $4,724 from the 3¢ Road Fund to cover the cost for this improvement on Omaha Street. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela. On motion of Mr. Homer, Seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the Highway Department be requested to rebuild approximately one mile of Cedar Creek Road with Rural Addition Money not to exceed $10,000 so that this Road will be improv- ed during this fiscal year. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela. The Board receives the Operational and Fiscal Summary for the County of Chester- field detailing the final expenditures of funds for the 1973-74 Budget from the Highway Department. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the following Water Contracts be and they he=eby are approved: 1. W74-83D Bury $ 15,370.00 3 M Construction Company, Inc. 2.

W74-82CD Chestnut Hills - Falling Creek Section Alpine Construction Company 64,036.72 5. W74-85CD Kingsland Commercial Park $17,980.00 R. M. C. Contractors, Inc. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela. On motion of Mr. Homer, seconded by Mr. Krepela, it is resolved that the Day Nursery's request for a water extension at 301 Courthouse Road be and it hereby is approved with the stipulation that negotiations for their cost be pursued and be at least $1,000. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela. Mr. Painter gives a report on the Pocono Water Tank Site stating that they are presently still negotiating and/or trying to decide if it will be feasible to locate the tank further down the road. He states they discussed buying the homes from the Noonans and Beales but these people prefer not to move. Mr. Farrar still has questions why the County will not construct the tank on land already owned by the County and zoned for this type of construction. Mr. Burnett states that they will have another report on December 30th. On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Krepela, it is resolved that Sewer Contract S74-66CD, Central National Bank Extension - off Route 60, in the amount of $7,000 be and it hereby is approved. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela. On motion of Mr. O'Neill, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the request of Mr. Swearingen for 20 connections in Trojan Woods be and it hereby is approved. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers,'Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela. It is generally agreed that the requests from the residnets on Ghent Drive for sewer extension be deferred until further investigation by the Engineering Department to determine the actual number requesting same. On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that Mrs. R. P. Childress at 9336 Russell Road be and she hereby is approved'to make installment payments for a sewer connection. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Welchons presents the sewer survey for Indian Springs and states that 40.5% have signed contracts and that if the 13 vacant lots owned by Mr. Carnes were considered it would amount to 75% but that there is some question regarding whether or not Mr. Carnes should have to pay a monthly service charge after he has paid for the connections. Mr. Horner states that the Engineering Department should negotiate with Mr. Carnes for one or two years of service charges. Mr. Welchons states that 35% have signed in the Wilmoth Drive-Canasta Drive area for sewer connections but there is a lot of vacant land in this area. Mr. Welchons states that 70% have signed in the Beulah Village area and other areas that would carry sewage to Kingsland Creek. He states that he feels some of this area will eventually have to go dry sewer. Mr. Welchons states that 47% of the citizens in parts of Chester have signed for sewer. Mr. Myers states that he would like to get back with the people and try to get the percentage needed. Mr. Welchons states that the Engineering Department is currently surveying other areas as well as those previously mentioned but no results have been received as of yet. Mr. Painter states that he has received a letter from EPA covering the design for the 01d Town Creek Interceptor which has been approved by the State Water Control Board with the stipulation that it does not exceed $33,750 and it also is subject to other conditions. He states that he is not sure the Engineering Department can do it in three months as requested. He adds that there will be a meeting in Petersburg with EPA to discuss this and feels any member of the Board interested in attending should do so. Mr. Painter states that at the last meeting two alternatives for providing sewer service on Johnsons Creek had been discussed. One alternative called for two pumping stations - one at Safeway and one further east on Johnsons Creek with force mains to Proctors Creek and the other alternative involved only one pumping station on Johnsons Creek at approximately Spruce Street, which would serve more area along Johnsons Creek although it would cost approximately $300,000 more than the first alternate. It would, however, involve constructing sewers more to the ultimate design. Upon consideration whereof, it is on motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Apperson, resolved that the Engineering Department be authorized to proceed with the plan installing the ultimate size sewer lines and one pumping station since it appears that this would be by far the better method of installing ultimate sewers in this area. Ayes: Mr. Homer, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. On motion of Mr. Hornet, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the County Attorney institute condemnation proceedings against the property owners listed below if the amounts offered by the County as set opposite their names is not accepted. Be it further resolved that the County Administrator notify the said property owners by registered mail on December 16, 1974, of the intention of the County to enter upon and take the property which is to be the subject of the said condemnation proceedings. An emergency existing, this resolution shall be, and it is hereby declared in full force and effect immediately upon passage. Stuart Eugene Beck Annie B. Williams Crump and Mary Blanche Beck Annie Belle Williams Crump Mrs. Blanche Beck Mrs. Virginia B. Cody Ayes: $25.00 25.00 25.00 25.00 10.00 Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. On motion of Mr. Horner, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that condemna- tion proceedings be instituted for a sewer and drainage easement across the property of William C. and Mildred B. Newcomb if further negotiations for said easements are not productive. It is understood that by the acquisitions of these easements, the Subdivision Plat of Loch Braemer can be recorded. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers~ Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Prosise states that he would like the Board to pass a resolution stating that the County may call the bonds on developers in Chesterfield County who have not completed the necessary road work, now that the extension of the bonds is past ~ue. Mr. Myers states that he has some question on those areas in which only minor work needs completion. Mr. Prosise states that some of these developers have let this minor work linger on for months and he feels the County has been more than fair to same. Mr. Myers states that perhaps the Board should consider recommending that the developers do all work prior to the selling of homes in subdivisions. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that the County Engineer may call bond on those developers who do not have the roads in their subdivisions up to State standards. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Hornet states that this time and date has been duly advertised for Public Hearing on the Sunday Closing Law and inquires if there is anyone present who wishes to speak for or against this~ law. Mr. William Cox, president of the Tri-Cities Taxpayers Association, comes before the Board and speaks in favor of the repeal of this law. Mr. Apperson states that some residents in the County could not understand why the Board did not pass this at the last meeting and why it was advertised for a Public Hearing. He states that the reasons why he did not feel this should be passed on an emergency basis after the vote had taken place are: 1. The General Assembly did not put an emergency provision on this law and left it in the hands of the governing body, and 2. He saw no reason to vote-~n it and then have it scheduled for a Public Hearing after the fact. Mr. Apperson inquires why the people and the General Assembly had to make a decision on this law. Mr. Mason states that is the structure in the law. He states that the State is not doing away with this law, and that the localities have been given the opportunity to take it off themselves by holding a referendum. He states in this manner the people in the localities can show which they prefer but the local government still has to pass this Ordinance exempting itself from the force and effect of this law. Mr. Apperson inquires if this referendum was purely advisory. Mr. Mason states that the people could petition the Circuit Court if the Board did not pass it. Mr. Myers inquires if it had not been on the ballot could the Board change it. Mr. Mason states no. Mr. Myers states that he feels the local units of government are acting as a buffer for the General Assem- bly and that he feels the people do not like the method used to get the Blue Law out. On motion of Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that since all the precincts in his District voted for the defeat of the Blue Law, that the Ordinance be and it hereby is approved. This motion is seconded by Mr. Myers who states that if the people in his District voted different from the way he felt this should be, he he would have gone with what the majority wanted. He states that he feels the State of Virginia should do something in regard to this as some localities are enforcing the Blue Law while others are not. He states he feels the General Assembly should write a good law and do away with the ineffective and unfair one that is presently in existance. Mr. Krepela states that he shares the same feelings. A vote being taken with all voting aye, the Ordinance is as follows: An Ordinance to amend and~reordain the Code of the County of Chesterfield, !'Vmrgin~a, providing for the exemption of the County of Chesterfield, Virginia, .from the force and effect of the provisions of Section 18.1-363.1 of the Code of ?Virginia (commonly known as the Sunday Closing Law). Be it ordained by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Chesterfield, ~Virginia: 1. That the Code of the County of Chesterfield, Virginia, be, and it is .hereby, amended co provide for exemption from the force and effect of the pro- visions of Section 18.1-363.1 of the Code of Virginia to read as follows: WHEREAS, certain qualified voters in the County of Chesterfield, Virginia, equal in number to greater than five (5) per cent of all qualified voters of said County of Chesterfield, have by petition requested the Circuit Court to order a special referendum and place on the ballot the question, "Shall the provisions of Section 18.1-363.1 of the Code of Virginia (commonly known as the Sunday Closing Law) be effective in the County of Chesterfield?"; and, WHEREAS, by order of the Circuit Court of Chesterfield County, Virginia entered on September 3, 1974, the Electoral Board of the County of Chesterfield, Virginia, was ordered to open the polls and take the sense of the qualified voters of Chesterfield County on the above question on November 5, 1974; and, WHEREAS, the Commissioners of Election have certified to the Circuit Court of the County of Chesterfield, Virginia, the results of the votes taken in this special referendum; and, WHEREAS, the Circuit Court of the County of Chesterfield has certified the · results of the votes taken to the Board of Supervisors of Chesterfield County, Virginia, by its Order entered November 13, 1974, a copy of which is attached to ~and made a part of this Ordinance by this reference; and, WHEREAS, the votes taken on the aforesaid question in the special referendum held on November 5, 1974, are certified to be Yes: 7,093, and No: 7,990; and, WHEREAS, the said special referendum held on the aforesaid question expresses the sense of the citizens of Chesterfield County that such laws are not necessary. NOW, THEREFORE, it is ordained that the County of Chesterfield, Virginia, be, and it is hereby, exempt from the provisions of Section 18.1-363.1 of the Code of Virginia (commonly known as the Sunday Closing Law). This Ordinance shall be effective upon passage as provided by law. Mr. Prosise states that in the area of Routes 60 and 147 there exists a drainage problem. He states that the Engineering Department will be discussing a pro-rata sharing proposal that would help eliminate this problem plus place some of this responsibility on the developers in the area. He states that he is notifying the Board that this will probably be discussed at the next Utility Meeting and wants them to be aware of this concept. Mr. Jim Condrey comes before the Board and states that there has been some con- flict in departments with regard to the paying of overtime. He states that it is his recommendation that any authorized time off be considered time worked and if an individual has to work on days normally scheduled to be off that he be paid time and half. Mr. Krepela inquires what authorized time off means. Mr. Condrey states authorized sick leave, vacation or holidays. Mr. Krepela inquires what is considered sick leave. Mr. Condrey states that in the County policy an employee is allowed 1~ days sick leave per month. He adds also that the Fair Labor Stand- ards Act provides for this type of system. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, it is resolved that the Board approve the recommendations of the Salary Committee. Mr. Horner states that he feels the Board should receive a monthly report showing the hours worked overtime and the reasons for same. Mr. Apperson states that he feels this is a reasonable request. Mr. Krepela states that with inflation and the economic situation as it is, he feels the Board should consider bringing the Utility Department down to the level of the other County employees in lieu of raising these employees to the level of the Utility Depart- ment. Mr. Myers states that he feels, at given periods of time, a report should be made showing the money spent on overtime as compared to what additional employees would have cost. Mr. Apperson states that fringe benefits would also have to be included and not only the base salary. Mr. Condrey states that in the Utility Department certified help is needed and that if a man does not make additional money for overtime, he could refuse to work. Mr. Myers states that he does not know of any other solution but that if Mr. Horner and Mr. Krepela would like to meet with Mr. Painter, Mr. Condrey and Mr. Bryant, he would consider deferring this matter. Mr. Krepela states that he would be willing to meet with these gentle- men to discuss the matter further. The motion having been withdrawn, it is on motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, resolved that this matter be and it hereby is deferred until December 30th to enable the Utility Department and Mr. Krepela and Mr. Horner to meet to see if a workable solution can be found. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. The Board adjourns for lunch. Reconvening: 74S139 In Clover Hill Magisterial District, Moton J.

Mr. Burton comes before the Board and states that he is retired and would like this approved to enable him to build a modular home on this property which be- longs to his nephew, P. P. Clarke, and that he will dedicate a 50 foot right-of- way to the County. Mr. Ritz states that if Mr. Burton builds as planned, the property lying to the rear would be landlocked which would be bad for the people living there as well as for the County. Mr. Burnett states that this road is dirt and it being 600 feet long could cause some problems in bad weather. Mr. Burton states that it will not be a problem to the County. On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that this Vari- ance request be and it hereby is approved with the stipulation that Mr. Burton dedicate a right-of-way to the south end of the property and that the County will not be responsible for the upkeep or maintenance of this road until it is brought up to State standards by others.

Refer to lots 7 and 8, Bermuda Ochre Company (Sheet 42). Mr. Burnett states that this parcel of property lies in an area where two or three variances have been previsously granted and that the last variance granted was to be the last until the road had been improved by the property owner. He states that the property owner has sold this land to Mr. Adkins without informing him of the restrictions. Mr. Myers states that he does not think a dedication has been made. Mr. Ritz states it has not. Mr. Adkins states that he will dedicate that which is necessary if he can build. Mr. Myers states that the previous owner had stated she would do the same but never did and that she was also to get the dedications from all property owners in the area. Mr. Adkins states that he understands this and that he will try to get these dedications also. Mr. Myers inquires if the previous owner and her attorney, Mr. Plato Eliades, could be present as he feels they should share in this responsibility. Mr. Adkins states he is not sure he can get them to come.~ Mr. Myers states that he feels there are too many loose ends which need tying before this variance could be approved. Mr. Adkins states he needs to start building now as his house had been sold. Mr. Myers states again that there seems to be items that need to be resolved prior to this variance being granted. On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that this re- quest be and it hereby is deferred until December 30th. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. i 74S181 In Midlothian Magisterial District, W. S.
